"Should the opportunity arise, we respectfully urge you to vote Yes on passage of this legislation."

"Just as the Northwest Ordinance permitted new states to enter the Union on an 'equal footing' with existing states, Congress extended the same principle to tribes."

"So, I have a question for you. Can you define what you included in your testimony; can you define this entity?"

"Thank you for your attention to this bipartisan legislation as we work to support the existence of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe."
